End of a functor (${\int }_{C}T(C,C)$)

For $T:{\mathcal{C}}^{\mathrm{op}}\times \mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{D}$, an end is a universal object $E$ with maps $e_C:E\to T(C,C)$ satisfying $T(1_C,f)e_C=T(f,1_D)e_D$ for every $f:C\to D$. Every other such family factors uniquely through $E$. For small $\mathcal{C}$ in a complete category, it is the equalizer of the two maps ${\prod }_{C}T(C,C)\rightrightarrows {\prod }_{f:C\to D}T(C,D)$.
